Me and buddy we're on here awhile back with a short lived pre runner project ranger... but that one is long gone. We recently got back in the ranger game with Re-Ranged, a dove nosed '83...
We threw a paintjob on it, put some 34 TSLs, kicked out the windsheild, took the doors off, my buddy welded up his custom driveshaft, we replaced the axleshaft and have been messing around with it. Its our beater rig, since we both already have rigs of our own.
The only probles we've had is the damn starter. Who decided to through-bolt it?
Here's some pic's of it from the last couple of weeks.
New tires...
Paint..
shakedown run
...and my buddy burried it out on carpet run.
Yesterday, we blew a swamper off the bead in sands. Had to limp 'er back to the truck's.
Fenders now have the fancy quick-disconnect wire holding them on...
Update!
Re-ranged made an apperance at the UP Mudfest in Bark River at 3fires offroad park.
Bombed it in the mud bog, never got stock, until the front pinion bearings ate themselves and locked up the front tires.
The Co-owner joey knight had his autographed asked for in the crowd of spectators. Re-Ranged was a crowd favorite.
Some pics of it...
Got super pissed at it one day..
Some trucks at mudfest..
Re-ranged action shots
Like i said, me and joey have just been messing around with this, we both have our sepreate wheelin' rigs, but nothing wheels better than a beater!
dont hate, remember... we adpoted it like this... rumor has it that 5 2.9's have been through this poor little thing
